Which is hotter, Canopus or Vega? How much brighter?

Physics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
4 0

Temperature determines the hotness or coldness. The surface temperature of Canopus is 7350 K. The surface temperature of Vega is 9602 K. Because the surface temperature of Vega is greater than Canopus, Vega is hotter.

Brightness is determined by the star's magnitude. The apparent magnitude of Canopus is (-0.72) and that of Vega is (0.03). we know that, lesser the magnitude, brighter is the star. Hence, Canopus is brighter.

Vega is hotter but Canopus is brighter. This is because, brightness depends on the star's distance and size of the star as well other than the factor temperature.

Light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates a diffraction grating. the second-order maximum is at angle 39.5 ∘. part a how many lines
WARRIOR [948]
Diffraction equation applies in this case:

d*Sin x = m*wavelength, where d = spacing of lines, x = angle = 39.5°, m = order of maximum = 2

Substituting;
d* Sin 39.5 = 2*600*10^-9
d = (2*600*10^-9)/Sin 39.5 = 1.88656*10^-6 m

In 1 mm (or 0.001 m), the number of lines is given as;
Number of lines = 0.001/d = 0.001/(1.88656*10^-6) = 530.065 ≈ 530 lines

A person on a bike (m=90 kg) is traveling 4 m/s at the top of a 2 m hill. what is the bikers total energy?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

720 J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * m *(v*v)

M= 90 kg

V=4 m/s

KE=1/2 * 90 * (4*4)

KE= 45*16= 720 J

How does the scientific process generally begin?
Murljashka [212]
There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis
